Guided canoe trip down the Ardèche Gorges

In the heart of the Ardèche Gorges National Nature Reserve, accompanied by a guide certified by the reserve, we offer a canoe trip designed for families, curious minds, and nature lovers, combining leisurely paddling, discoveries, and shared moments. From the very first strokes of the paddle, you enter an exceptional site shaped by millions of years of erosion. The monumental limestone cliffs tell the story of the Ardèche River, which patiently carved these spectacular gorges. A true open-air landscape experience, accessible to all. Keep your eyes peeled as you paddle: the gorges are a haven for numerous birds of prey. Bonelli's eagles, Egyptian vultures, and peregrine falcons regularly soar above the river, offering unforgettable moments of observation, especially for children.

The descent is punctuated by several fun and nature-filled breaks:

• swimming and whitewater in safe areas
• discovering natural springs at the foot of the cliffs
• exploring a small cave, ideal for sparking a sense of adventure
• swimming and picnicking on peaceful natural beaches
• discovering old charcoal kilns, remnants of local heritage.

The activity begins or ends with a walk offering exceptional views of the Ardèche Gorges. A special moment to admire the route taken and leave with wonderful memories.

This canoe trip takes place over the course of a day, at a deliberately leisurely pace.
Paddling time is moderate and interspersed with regular breaks.

Ideal for a first canoeing experience or a family outing.

The route takes place on a selected section of the Ardèche Gorges of approximately 13 kilometers, allowing you to fully enjoy the site without any sporting constraints.
